Rams CB Marcus Peters expected to cover Raiders WR Amari Cooper

On Monday night, we will get to see a rematch of one of the best wide receiver-cornerback matchups the NFL has to offer. After facing one another for years in the AFC West, Amari Cooper and Marcus Peters are expected to face off again in Week 1.

According to PlayerProfiler.com, the two are set to face off this week as Cooper usually lines up as the X-receiver, while Peters lined up on the right side on seven snaps in preseason. The Rams usually keep their cornerbacks on the same side so there will be times in which Cooper is not matched up with Peters.

Cooper has gotten the best of Peters in the past, but the matchup overall is very even. For the Raiders’ sake, expect the team to move Cooper all around the field to avoid Peters at times. This matchup should be a joy to watch.
